What we’ve been working on

  • Thinking a lot around how we do large gridded data workflows (for FDRI)
  • Lots of thoughts for various bits of the process here:
  • https://github.com/NERC-CEH/dri_gridded_data/issues

  • NCUK
    • Developed RAG-based prototype for querying the EIDC data catalogue.
    • Working on an evaluation workflow for RAG systems.
    • Developing a data explorer prototype that will allow users to talk to their data using an LLM, automatically generate code snippets, and visualise data.
  • LLM Working Group
    • Helping to link together group activities around the use of AI and LLMs.
  • Training

  • Pipeline for plankton images: From acquiring images and metadata from the microscope to storing them in the object store on JASMIN, preprocessing the images, and running binary models on them. Additionally, assessing different tools for labeling the images.
  • Economics of Biodiversity project: Developing a digital tool to help farmers and landowners manage their land and assess the feasibility of installing a solar farm. Gathering data from different datasets like E-planner habitat suitability, Land cover maps, Hedgerows, Local nature recovery plans, Solar constraints, resource and habitats data.
